Can I still use an on camera speedlight while triggering 2 off camera speedlights with these triggers?

Yes, you can, but you will need three Yongnuo triggers, one for the camera and one for each one of the 2 off speedligths

Hi Joshua,The device has a hotshoe plate, however it communicates with the camera via the pin connector. I don't see why you couldn't have another trigger in the hotshoe (ie flash trigger). The only think is that the satechi trigger will be dangling from the pun connection on the side of your camera.Maybe a dual hotshoe mount could work.CheersRene

Yes you can choose 3 fast flashes. There are many options. I have mine set to flash six times fast and then six times slow and then steady on as long as I leave my foot on the brake. Programming does take a bit of time, but it is not that bad. I have changed my setup three times after living with them for awhile until I found the combination I liked.

If you are asking if you can use this as a TTL flash with other triggers, then yes you can.

Yes can be triggered by another flash. Either first curtain or second curtain. No remote trigger needed it flashes when it senses another flash go off.

You cannot use TTL when using the included remotes (it says so in the instructions). With this setup you can only use manual mode (on the camera and the speedlights.) Set the shutter speed on the remote speedlights to match the shutter speed on the camera. And don't forget to connect the shutter release cable from the remote to the camera. Also, use the shutter release button on the remote, not the one on the camera. (If you use the built-in shutter release on the camera, it will try to fire the built-in flash and neither remote flash will work.) If you really want to use TTL, the only way to do it is without the included remotes. Use one of the speedlights connected to the hot-shoe mount on your camera (or connected with a flash cord, not included) set for TTL and the other speedlight off-camera and set to S1 (slave mode). The on-camera flash will trigger the off-camera flash with this setup but you must have line-of-sight between speedlights. I hope this helps.

Hey, I think you would be trying to exceed the limits of your flash, maybe the smaller softlighter would be good for portraits with the flash you have. Or double up on flashes, I use 3-4 yongnuo flashes with this item. Depending on what camera you have you may need something to trigger the flash, you can search for flash triggers, you need receivers and transmitters, the cheap ones work fine if you don't need e/ttl, or you can use a TTL cord. Hope this helps

Yes, but you will have to manually set your camera to the flash units. The triggers do not read the auto settings from your camera. Works well if you do that...

Yes! We use 2 flashes , off camera and with on camera flashes too.. each of us can fire off all flashes, or just one flash, etc.. up to 4 flashes can see used. And if you are camera flash shopping, I recommend buying the Phottix flash. It comes with a built in transmitter.

Your question has much more to do with your triggers than it does the light. If your camera and/or triggers have a higher sync speed then yes, you'll be able to sync up to the max sync spped your camera allows. As an example, my cameras top sync speed is 1/250. This is of course unless your actually asking about the flash 'duration' concerning high speed sync. The 'burn' time on this unit is 1/800 of a second [longest] to 1/2000 of a sec. [shortest]. if you need a sync speed of anything faster than 1/2000 of a second, say to freeze action, this flash will not be able to do that and you will still see 'movement'.Hope this helps.

Invest in Yongnuo transceivers to triggers (available in Canon and Nikon flavors.). If you get one YN-622-N (N is for Nikon, which I assume you are shooting) for mounting to the speedlight, and then get the YN-622-N-TX for the camera, you will be able to control your flash output from the camera on any TTL capable flash (e.g., Sb600 or Sb700). When the speedlight is mounted inside the softbox it is a pain in the butt to change the settings when in Manual Mode. In TTL mode it is not as big an issue.

Yes this will work without the on-camera flash. It will handle high speed synch as well (I have had success up to 1/8000sec shutter). You will NOT be able to control the settings via the Nikon in-camera Commander settings as this will only affect IR speedlights triggered from the on-camera flash. Another benefit I like about these triggers is that the focus assist works well in very low light settings (better than the on-camera assist). You will need to get familiar with the manual to setup the triggers...this can get a bit confusing so read the manual carefully. I have had good success with these triggers.

Yes, but only if you use the flash directly connected to the on camera mounted YN622C. To me it makes little sense to have a single YN622C as you cannot move the flash off camera without a wired connection. You really need at least a pair of the YN622C's to use them in a meaningful way. Once you have a pair you can purchase a single if you want to add another TTL flash to the mix. One thin to clarify, you access the camera flash menu, not the speedlight's menu. Not too critical, but just to claritiy.

Yes, you can. There is a toggle mode where it stays on one camera for 5 or 10 seconds and then switches to the other. It's nice that it's automatic!

Yes. It will trigger as a slave from a single flash at the camera or from the second flash at the camera if the camera is using red-eye reduction flashes. It is triggered, AFAIK, from light from the subject, so any flash will trigger it.

Yes you could do that. Just make sure you turn it on and off quickly to avoid any extra power to the flash adjuster.

I purchased two of these flashes to use with wireless remotes with my portable studio. They work great - but you have to set them manually for the intensity of flash you desire. I use a Canon Speedlite 420ex on my Canon EOS Rebel T2i so it integrates with the proprietary links built into Canon.
